CF Times Out - Going Crazy!
I am ready to scream about this. Some weeks a cfquery works great, other times, it craps out with this statement: The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag. What could be some causes? I've fought with this for several months off and on - no one's made changes to the code. It's a simple plain text email sendout with 3,000 subscribers. Email address are repeatedly verified before putting into the queue. Time out is set at 20 minutes. Normally the process only takes about 45-60 seconds. Worked great last week, died this week. 2GB ram on the dedicated box. Plenty of horsepower.

RE: CF Times Out - Going Crazy!
With or without disk spooling? So how would I check that? I'm using win2003, iis6. The outbound mail is going into a spool. I've experienced this problem with both the CFMail tag and Coolfusion's CFX_iMSMail Tag. I also just tried again to send out the mail. Worked fine this time (took about 37 seconds to push the mail out to the spool). Can you see how responsive your DNS is? Is there a special method to do this?

RE: CF Times Out - Going Crazy!
For the spooling, the setting in the CFAdministrator, I think, is what is being spoke of (Disk or Memory). I'll give that a try. Could it be the content of the emails by any chance? I reran the exact email message again that that client had used, and the second time it went out, no problem. What I don't understand is why the network would cause a problem during a CFMail or CFX_iMSMail tag call. The creating and queue up of the messages would all be done on the server. That's why I can't figure out this intermittent timeout issue. However, come to think of it, wonder if there's a hangup between CF7 and MS-SQL where the records are being pulled. On the CFAdmin db page, I changed the login timeout from 30 sec to 60 sec. In the general settings, I upped the timeout requests from 60 sec to 120 sec. Yes, wrapping a try/catch block around a couple of processes would be a good idea.

Watch that first hop, I'd figure, but maybe all of it is important. Maybe a ping, one with an IP, another with DNS? For the spooling, the setting in the CFAdministrator, I think, is what is being spoke of (Disk or Memory). Could it be the content of the emails by any chance? Network related is a good guess tho. Any ways of wrapping it with a cftry and capturing some more data? What was being sent out, how long a ping (using DNS) took, etc.? /me whistles a little ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244344 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
